Harry, who lost the ii-e of his left arm in a collision with a Union Pacific train at the depot cross ing in Silver Creek about a year ago, got a check for ';,000.00 from the company last Saturday in settlement of damages. Of course it will not compensate Matt for the loss of his arm and the suffering caused him. but it can be sized up ub a "Halm in fiilead". The company settled the matter without suit. At a point on the Platte a few miles west of Silver Creek a hunting camp has been established for use during the duck season by Perry and Myron Bond. The wivcb of these young men are with them and are expecting to do the hunt ing while their husbands prepare the meals wash the dishes and wait upon the wants of the guests who will be en tertained. Why not? These are days of the suffragette, the farmarette aud why not of the hunterette? Word of the hudden d,eath of Arthur Lacey, formerly of Silver Creek, was re ceived by wire from Superintendent Westenhamer of the Burlington, at Al liance Tuesday last.

From the Democrat The Commercial club being dissatisfi ed with the labt census enumeration, has authorized a new count, and the work is bein done this week by Henry Schu macher. The enumeration has not yet been completed, but already a large gain over the former count has been made. Another deer from Dr. Condon's herd which he has domiciled in his park here has made its escape. It is thought that the animal which was a buck weighing about 200 pounds was frightened by some boys who were playing in the park causing it to leap the high wire fence enclosing the deer park to gain its liber ty. This makes the eighth deer lost by Dr. Condon but he has already ordered four others to keep the only remaining one company. Mis. O. U. P. Belmont the eminent suffragette has started a farmerette col ony on her Long Island estate, where the work of a large farm will be doue en tirely by woman. This may be a new thing on Long Island but there are nu merous farmerettes in this part of Nebr aska who have been beating the men at their own game right along and performing- their share of the household labors also. And they can't even hare a day of! on election day either.

That proverb "robbing Peter to pay P.muI" arose from the way iu which the dean of Westminster was treated at the time of the reformat inn. As abbot he had been an independent dignitary, but as dean he was placed tinder the authority of n .specially cre ated bishop of Westminster. This di ocese after existing for ten years was merged in the see of Loudon, and many of the domains of St. Peter's abbey passed into the hand of the chapter of St. Paul's cathedral, thus giving rise to the now familiar saying. "It was by a hard .struggle." writes Dean Stanley, "that the abbey was saved in those tempestuous times. Its dependency of the priory of St. Mar tin's lo Grand was torn to pieces, and its outlying domains to the east of Westminster were, it is said, sacrificed to the Protector Somerset to induce him to forbear from pulling down the abbev itself."

BROWN, Agent, COLUMBUS, NEBRASKA a ne. WOOD PULP PAPER. Forced Into Use by the Scarcity ef Rag Stock. In tho earty days of printing it was hardly possible to employ anything but first class paper in making books, for the reason that wood fiber and wood pulp paper had not then come into use. At that time good cotton and linen nigs were turned into line. firm, pure white paper, well able to with stand indefinitely the yellowing and disintegrating effects of time. As the increase iu the demand for printing paper grew apace it was soon found that there were not enough nigs to go round. Thus wool pulp came into use. All vegetable fiber is suitable for paper inakiiiir, whether it Ihi obtained from nigs, wood, esparto grass, straw or other substances. When these libers are torn apart they are clogged with gum. a substance that mut lie thor oughly dissolved and washed away by chemicals if the best results are to be obtained. Wood pulp paper is made of finely ground wood, usually spruce, the grinding being done with a beating en gine, run at high sieed. and huge stones between which the wood Is re duced to a kind of pulp. That done, it is made up into paper without any pre liminary removal of the gum or oth er deleterious ingredients. Harper' Weekly. ELECTRIC FOGHORNS.
